I have 2 German Shepherds and I am wondering if this leash would work for them. the largest is about 130 pounds and they are both very strong pullers. I cant walk them alone with separate leashes because they pull so hard but they prefer to walk close...

This leash will work for you and your dogs. It's so strong you could lead a pair of oxen.

I would try it. It will definitely support their weight as long as you can handle them pulling. Much easier than 2 separate leashes.

The leash isn't adjustable. However there is plenty of extra leash for my German Shepherd. He isn't tall, just long. However, they do not recommend dogs under 17lbs to use it. I go about 3-4MPH for my dog. I don't use it with my 20lb beagle pug mix for fear he won't be able to go too far. I think it is up to owner discretion though. If your dog can run, I think he would so ok. The leash almost touches the ground when not attached to a dog. But it also depends on your bike height since it attaches to the seat post. I ride a woman's Trek mountain bike.

I have a German Shepherd/Rott/Lab mix that it works great for..! He weighs approx 125lbs and would initially jump in and out of my SUV. After he pulled a muscle doing this, I resorted to searching the web for something other than a set of steps that would be more cumbersome for me to handle. Hence, I found the OttoStep.....best thing going!! I love it and so does he..!! He was a little leery at first, but quickly picked up the concept. He does not have to jump at all. I would highly recommend it, especially for larger, older four legged friends. Hope this helps in making your decision. :)

I think you need a small gentle leader for your dog. My German shepherd is 75lbs and I have a large Gentle Leader for her.

The large collar is for dogs between 80-110 pounds. I would get a medium and start training with that and then increase to a larger size as your German Shepherd grows. It's been a great collar. My stubborn lab respond very well to it.

I would assume so. We have a dane mix who is quite strong and we are not as physically able as once we were. Walking him was difficult for us. With this harness he cannot pull. Anyone can walk him without issue. He is not bothered at all by it. He reacts just like when we get the leash, excited. It is a great tool.

How large are your dogs? It is a great product but if not closed together my dog could move it and get out but she's a german shepherd! LOL

I have a German Shepherd that is 75 pounds, a cocker spaniel that is 21 pounds and a Yorkie that is 12 pounds. I use this system to walk them at campgrounds. As you can imagine there is wildlife, people and other dogs. Lots of distractions. I walk all three at the same time. I weigh about 140 pounds. This system helps me use my weight to contain them and I can also tug on the lease if they are starting to pull. It also leaves my hands available to pick their waste. I recently added another German Shepherd to the mix and need to order another lease. I highly recommend this product. Hope this helps.

It's a good quality harness, but personally, for a dog that large, I would go with something else. A dog that big, and I'd look into the easy walk harnesses. Mainly because many harnesses (the ones that have the leash clip on the dog's back), actually give the dog more leverage to pull you. With something like the easy walk harness, it clips in the front (both the harness and the dog's collar attach to the leash), and when the dog pulls, it turns them around. They get no additional leverage for pulling, and in fact, are given incentive NOT to pull.

My dog is an energetic 2 year old white german shepherd. She also weighs in at 110 lbs.I had her walk along side the bike (with the attachment on) once daily for 3 days, then I hooked her up and walked the bike with her alongside for 2 walks. Finally once I was sure was OK with it we were off. Other than my boking skills being a little rusty...Bella did fine.No pulling, just a gentle trot along side. It is strong, easy to attach and if room allows youcould also attach a 2nd lead so the dog has more room. Hope this helps.

I think it would work for any dog. But my dog is not a tugger, he just gently walks beside us. He's a rescue boxer mix, and he just came to us that well trained. But the leash itself is very well made and tough.

I think they'll pull just as much on this one. Mine are only 45 pounds each, but they still pulled - and I got more tangled in this leash than I do when I use separate leashes (they didn't get as tangled with each other, but I don't really care so much about that). They almost tripped me several times because one would circle around behind me, and you can't untangle this as easily as you can separate leashes.

depending on the size of dog you have the collar will fit a large dog with no problems. I have no issues with my german sheperd. If you have a medium size dog like my mini aussies you will have alot of excess and it gets alittle difficult trying to place the collar correctly where it wont slide and not too loose.

We use it for our 2 German Shepherds. It's a great training tool and was recommended to us by a training professional. It works really well for our big dogs.

Hi, I have a "mut" that is supposedly quite a mix; Akida, Wire Haired Datshund and American Bassethound and Doberman...well, he is 9 months, 50 lbs and SO SWEET. I have been training him since 3 months to be a service dog that can go into hospitals. Elderly, Sick Children and Chemo patients. The most important part of his training is to "heel" ALWAYS on my command. He is still a puppy and although pretty amazing...he tugs away at another dog...sometimes a blowing leave!! I tried a few collars/harnesses and leashes and this is the one I like best. It is EASY on/off. I HATE those metal "choke" collars, I don't care what the reviews say...they hurt!! This collar takes a little toll on your hands if your dog is strong but..I think the humanity of it is worth it. One quick tug and strong voice of discipline has been working for me. As a matter of fact..I just bought a few to give out at our dog park to some new doggie friends! I hope this helps. How much does your dog weigh?

It really depends on the size and girth of the dog's neck. I have a colossal sized German Shepherd. She could easily weigh 100+ pounds. However, I work very hard, run with her and keep her trim. She is able to use the Herm Sprenger 18" Prong Collar with no problem. However, if your dog is very muscular, stout and has a very thick neck (17.5" or larger) . . . I would recommend a larger size. You can purchase extra links to increase the size. If you are going to run or bike with the dog, I would STRONGLY consider a "Gentle Leader" in the stead of a prong collar. I solely (ONLY) utilize the Gentle Leader for biking and running.
